...~ You leave your email in a comment when a new pattern is available for testing (on the post asking for testers for a specific pattern, not this one) and let me know that you're interested and what size you would like to test.~ I reply and send you a copy of the pdf pattern, which you download, print and get sewing.~ You tell me where I can improve and refine the pattern and instructions ... including how the size fits, grammatical errors and typos, if something needs to be added (pictures, more instructions, explanations, etc.). The more information you give me, the BETTER!!!~ You get a free copy of ALL the final versions of the pattern once they are edited and finalized.

...

Requirements ...

...~ You must have basic sewing skills (you don't have to be advanced!)~ You must have the results back to me within 1 week.~ You must take pictures of the finished product and email them to me. (The better the pictures, the more likely you'll be picked to test patterns again)

~ You MUST allow Jocole to use all photos of finished products for promotional purposes. Pictures are KEY, I choose testers by picture quality.

Once the pattern is listed for sale you MUST post your picture on Facebook and link to the pattern for sale.

Write a blog post with your picture and a link to the pattern.

You *MUST* write a review on jocole.com for the pattern after it is released....I hope you're up for the challenge, if so let me know!!!

...

You will ONLY receive the final version of the pattern if you return your review and pictures. If you didn't then I won't send your the final revised version.

...NOTICE:Anyone who has tested and *not* returned the results within 1 week will not be eligable to test (unless you've tested multiple patterns before), contact me for more details. I *DO* have a running list of those who haven't returned reviews or pictures ... in order to test again you must purchase the previous test pattern to become eligible again.

NEW RULE!! -- you cannot test a pattern if you tested the preceding pattern ... meaning you cannot test 2 patterns in a row.
